It isn’t real until the shoreline disappears. When I can’t see a single stop sign or asphalt-paved road or concrete structure. When my course depends only on lines and rudders and the churning waves ahead. That’s when I know I’m truly free.

EDITOR’S LOG

Dear Fellow Boater, It’s been a great start to 2013. The upbeat energy at the winter boat and trade shows demonstrated this year’s potential for a great boating season (the Miami Yacht and Brokerage Show was the largest in the show’s 25-year history). On a recent sailing trip in the British Virgin Islands, boats were everywhere and the docks and moorings were full. These are all good signs for 2013, and we all look forward to a great summer boating season. At several of the trade conferences I attended this winter, one for the marina industry and one for boat and repair yards—there was a lot of talk about how the industry can help attract new boaters. With the help of new technology (Zeus/Joystick controls, etc.) boats are becoming easier to operate (and most importantly to dock). Marinas are stepping up the level of services and amenities they are offering, helping to improve the boater’s experience. Also, the rise of mobile apps makes it easier to access boating information. Marinalife is excited about the growing possibilities in 2013 and about doing what we can to attract new boaters. In hopes of heightening our members’ boating experience, we launched a new online Service and Maintenance Locator in January to help boaters find the right boat or repair yard. We also created a Marinalife magazine app and a Marinalife map and marina locator app. We are planning to expand on our mobile apps so you can readily access everything from reservations to cruise itineraries, all at your fingertips. This spring issue of the Marinalife magazine offers a range of articles from boating in North Carolina to the history of Monterey, Calif. We hope you enjoy this issue. I always love to hear from you so please send your ideas and feedback to magazine@marinalife.com. Also, please check out our new video on YouTube — “Connecting boaters and marinas all across the nation.” Happy Cruising,

Heading North for the Summer t seems a long way off, but before we even think about unwrapping the new windlass that Santa so thoughtfully left under the tree, it’s time to think about the trek north to savor the joys of boating in the Northeast during the summer. If the next thing you expected to read was “just jump on board and go,” then my mission is still much undone! Maybe charge the PLB, update the charts, test the electronics and set sail … not so fast sailor. A winter spent tooling around the Florida coastline with an occasional jaunt to the Bahamas is surely a good test of seaworthiness for you and your boat. But here up north we have lots of challenges that Florida and its environs are largely spared. This brings me to my favorite subject — the weather! Late in January there were a number of rather nasty fronts that made their way down from Canada and the Midwest and wreaked havoc from the Carolinas all the way to Maine. This was not Sandy (a northerly tracking Hurricane) or a classic Nor’ easter, but good old-fashioned frontal air masses. Even in January there were thunderstorms up and down the coast, but “so what?” you may say, after all Florida pretty much invented the thunderstorm. This is where it gets rather interesting. There are actually two very distinct types of thunderstorms, one of which was invented up North. It’s called the steady state thunderstorm and is quite different from the air-mass thunderstorms that are prevalent in the Deep South. A steady state thunderstorm produces not only line squalls and high winds, but also wind shear — the scourge of boaters and aviators alike. They are called “steady state” because they have a habit of lasting much longer than air-mass thunderstorms. Throw in the tendency for stronger updrafts than air-mass storms, and the recipe for disaster is complete for the unsuspecting or unprepared boater away from home territory. Do you need to be a weather geek to know this? Not at all. It’s all there on the Internet and available to anyone (NOAA and its subsidiary sites are a great and authoritative source — noaa.gov ) or purchase a subscription to Sirius Marine Weather. So next time you see those darkening clouds, think what might be hiding beyond. The storms that last a few minutes in Florida and leave so suddenly are most likely to be the storms that seem to leave but somehow stick around. They throw up gusty quartering winds and angry seas and turn from warm rain into frigid sideways torrents up here in the North. But then you did your homework and are safely in port wishing well of those who weren’t so well prepared, while listening to all the anxious calls on ch. 16!

Get to know the weather and protect yourself with weatherproof insurance! It is easy to get a quote.

WEEKEND WARRIOR

Savannah to Georgetown

By Olivia Schleicher

Soak up the sun in the vibrant city of Savannah, set on the uppermost corner of Georgia, and spend an unforgettable and scenic weekend cruising up the southernmost part of South Carolina. Walking around downtown Savannah feels like taking a step back in time. Scattered throughout the city are 22 historic squares, all unique, fully restored and shaded by abundant oak trees covered with swaying Spanish moss. Savannah is known for its lively arts scene and many festivals. Sip locally brewed beer while listening to oompah bands during Oktoberfest (Oct. 4-6), or spot the many famous movie stars and producers who flock to town for the Savannah Film Festival (Oct. 26 to Nov. 2). If you’re ready to shop till you drop, you’ll find dozens of fantastic boutiques along Savannah’s Broughton Street. If a day of relaxation is what you need, visit the gorgeous beach on nearby Tybee Island. The light station, a historic landmark built in 1732, is one of the few remaining lighthouses still functioning today. For some Southern-style comfort food, stop by Paula Dean’s restaurant The Lady & Sons (ladyandsons.com, 912-233-2600). With three floors of dining, you’ll be sure to snag a table, but first, you must wait outside for the dinner bell to ring. Dock at the world-class Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa (westinsavannah.com, 912-201-2021), within walking distance of downtown.

Located over the Savannah River, the new Talmadge Memorial cable-stayed bridge was built in 1990 due to the danger the old bridge brought to large ships entering the Port of Savannah.

Hilton Head, South Carolina and Beaufort, South Carolina

Head about 20 miles north of Savannah to Hilton Head. This island destination is filled with breathtaking beaches, golf courses galore, and endless amounts of family activities, including bike riding and zip lining. Dock at Harbour Town Yacht Basin (seapinesresort.com, 843-671-2704) or Skull Creek Marina (theskullcreekmarina.com, 843-681-8436) to make the most of your Hilton Head adventure. For a short day trip from Hilton Head, cruise north up the Beaufort River to the town of Beaufort, the second-oldest city in South Carolina. This charming Southern town has been a popular site for famous movie productions, including “Forrest Gump,” “G.I. Jane,” and “Something to Talk About.” Sail up to Beaufort on the first Friday evening of every month to enjoy live music, crafts for kids and stalls selling locally grown produce in Habersham Marketplace. For a tranquil evening, dock at the Downtown Marina of Beaufort (downtownmarinabeaufort.com, 843-524-4422).

The Sea Pines Resort

CRUISING WITH

> THE PITTS

Dream Journey Aboard Peaceful Too By Anna Barthelme

n September 2012, Marinalife members David and Lynn Pitts departed their home port in Baltimore, Md. and began their maiden ocean voyage aboard Peaceful Too (P2), their 3-yearold 53 foot Selene Trawler. Their emotions were running wild. It was an exciting yet anxious moment for the pair since they had never taken her outside of the Chesapeake Bay. They planned to travel 600 miles up the New Jersey coast, into the New York Harbor, up the Hudson River and then head back home. It turned out to be one of the most memorable journeys for the Pitts. The iron maiden withstood 7 to 9-foot seas when Hurricane Leslie was churning out in the Atlantic. She cruised smoothly when they reached calm waters, allowing them to take in spectacular sights, and she didn’t shake up Lynn’s trouble with seasickness too much (with a little help

from some prescription patches she had picked up before leaving). Throughout their journey, the crew was able to meet up with family and friends along the way and share moments they will never forget. They took their cruise prior to the destruction of Hurricane Sandy, allowing them to cruise by the famous Seaside Heights Amusement Park in New Jersey before the super storm wiped it away. It was a bittersweet moment cruising into New York Harbor on 9/11 and watching the helicopters buzz around the area like a swarm of bees on this historical day. After taking on the Atlantic and docking at a variety of marinas along the way, the pair has highlighted the top four destinations that they still rave about.

CHESAPEAKE CITY, MARYLAND Marina: Chesapeake Inn Restaurant & Marina (chesapeakeinn.com, 410-885-2040) Highlights: The marina has the perfect location for all boat traffic traveling through the C&D Canal. The marina and restaurant are tucked back into a very picturesque spot under the arch of the

A layer of fog masks the water as the Pitts approach the Chesapeake City Bridge in the C&D Canal.

Chesapeake City bridge, and cruisers are immediately rewarded with an ambiance not unlike a quaint New England town. The Pitts docked the P2 and took a stroll around the scenic town. Although there wasn’t a lot of shopping to be done in the area, the pair enjoyed a casual bite to eat at the marina’s restaurant. The outdoor deck provides a more laid-back scene, and the restaurant specializes in their brick oven pizzas and offers live entertainment daily during the summer months and on weekends in the winter.

A breathtaking view from Liberty Landing, N.J., over to Manhattan.

CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY Marina: South Jersey Marina (southjerseymarina.com, 609-884-2400) Highlights: Cruising into the marina, the Pitts found it extremely interesting that South Jersey Marina is located back in a narrow, well-protected channel lined with private homes that feature boathouses in place of a traditional backyard. They docked the P2 across from the Lobster House, one of the most famous restaurants in Cape May. It is an enormous establishment serving fresh seafood in every imaginable manner. They danced to live music and sipped cocktails aboard a 130-foot double-masted schooner’s outdoor cocktail lounge permanently moored alongside The Lobster House restaurant. They found Cape May to be quite a gem. It is affectionately referred to as the Crown Jewel of New Jersey. With a 25-minute walk to town, the Pitts had time to stretch their legs and take in all of its beauty, which included horse-drawn carriages, wonderful shops, bed and breakfasts galore and a nice boardwalk, where you can stroll along the beach. They enjoyed seeing the Seven Sisters Houses, a historical spot in town with identical Italian renaissance-style cottages built, as the legend goes, for the seven

beloved daughters of a wealthy Cape May builder.

ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY Marina: Golden Nugget Atlantic City Marina (goldennugget.com, 609-441-8482) Highlights: After cruising offshore and passing long stretches of gorgeous white sand beaches all with their own blue-water towers naming their towns, the crew tied up at the Golden Nugget Atlantic City Marina. Offering comparatively low slip rates, the marina had many perks that interested the Pitts. Since the marina is part of a casino complex, transient boaters are offered use of all the facilities including the amazing rooftop swimming pool, endless bars, hot tubs and gyms. At night, the view from the rooftop pool area is spectacular. One can see all the lights of Atlantic City and its surrounding casinos.

JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY Marina: Liberty Landing Marina (libertylandingmarina.com, 201-985-8000) Highlights: This was the favorite spot for the pair during their voyage. They entered New York Harbor on 9/11 with

clear, sunny skies in anticipation of seeing the long-awaited sights of the great city. As they sailed under the Verrazano Bridge, they could barely contain their excitement when they spotted the Statue of Liberty in the distance. They were awed by the size and beauty of it but before getting too close, they were approached by the Coast Guard carrying four armed men who boarded P2 for a 30-minute “routine” check. They tied up at Liberty Landing with an efficient dock crew on hand to help, while Lynn stood on the bow and took in the city sights. The marina is part of a large complex that houses a West Marine store, delicious restaurants and a historic transportation building, the Old Railroad Train Station. The group walked to the end of the dock and hopped on a quick ferry for a ride across the Hudson to Manhattan to explore the city. The ferry also takes visitors who are docked over to Ellis Island, a popular destination for tourists. m l To view this cruise online, visit marinalife.com/pittscruise.

Service manager was my next step, and after 10-years I became general manager. I spent my childhood on the water because my dad built boats, and we loved sailing.” What do you feel is important to the future of boating? “I think it is important to get kids interested. I am on the board of the Marine Trades Association of Maryland and work with the Annapolis Community Boating group. Both of these groups strive to interest young people in boating. Port Annapolis also takes part in the STEM program for local schools and hosts student group trips to learn about boating, working and living on the water.”

DESTINATION

> WILMINGTON

Riverboat docked on the Cape Fear River, a horse-drawn carriage tour, enjoying surf at Carolina Beach, Arlie gardens in full bloom.

Wilmington, A Historic North Carolina Port City By Angelica Virga

DUE TO ITS desirable climate, colorful history and beachside location, Wilmington is one of North Carolina’s most popular tourist destinations. The charming city — set on the Cape Fear River, 15 miles from the Intracoastal Waterway — is one of the region’s most alluring and historically rich ports and a must-visit destination for boaters. The Wilmington Historic District spans 230 blocks lined with moss-draped oak trees and is full of southern Victorian and Antebellum architecture. It is best seen by horse-drawn carriage or Segway. Visitors can tour many of the area’s historic mansions, such as the Bellamy Mansion, which dates to the Civil War era and houses a museum of history and design. The sights can also be enjoyed aboard the old-fashioned Wilmington Trolley or via a stroll along the two-mile Riverwalk, a scenic board walk which winds around the Cape Fear River. The historic waterfront is a shopping and dining mecca. The Cotton Exchange and the City Market have loads of boutiques and locally owned restaurants, and there are performing-arts theaters scattered throughout the city — the intimate

Greenfield Park Amphitheater hosts shows ranging from Shakespeare to popular Indie bands. Don’t miss a trip to the farmers market, held every Saturday from late March through the middle of December. In addition to local produce, you’ll find booths from artisans and crafters. If you can, plan your visit to coincide with Wilmington’s Azalea Festival, held this year from April 10 to April 14. Airlie Gardens has more than 100,000 azaleas that will be in full bloom! In addition, the festival features more than 50 events, including concerts, art shows, garden tours, special exhibits, a circus and a parade. Because of Wilmington’s mild climate, a variety of affordable outdoor entertainment is available year-round. Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach and Kure Beach — all within 25 minutes of Wilmington — offer deep-sea and pier fishing, surfing, swimming and diving. Golfers can enjoy Beau Rivage Golf & Resort, an 18-hole par-72 course just 15 minutes from downtown Wilmington.

The Essentials: Wilmington Where to Dock Wilmington City Docks (wilmingtonnc.gov, 910-520-6875) has floating docks within walking distance of top restaurants, shopping and local attractions. Port City Marina (portcitymarina.com, 910-251-6151), opening this fall, is located on the downtown waterfront along the Cape Fear River. The facility will accommodate boats up to 250 feet, with more than 200 state-of-the-art floating concrete slips. Where to Eat If you decide to eat on board, visit Cape Fear Coast Seafood (8130 Market St., capefearseafood.com) to pick up local fish, shrimp, scallops and clams. To dine out in style, hit Catch (6623 Market St., catchwilmington.com), helmed by Bravo’s Top Chef-appearing Keith Rhodes. Chef Rhodes also recently opened a food truck that serves up Mexican street food such as ceviches and crispy fish tacos. A longtime Wilmington favorite, Circa 1922 (8 N. Front St., circa1922.com), has a vintage atmosphere with live piano or jazz music and a diverse menu of tapas, sushi, meats, seafood and pasta. m l

CRUISING THROUGH HISTORY

The Carmel Mission Basilica, the mission of San Carlos Borromeo, founded in 1770 by Junipero Serra, Carmel-by-the-Sea

California’s Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea By Capt. Jeff Werner

“Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream. Cannery Row is the gathered and scattered, tin and iron and rust and splintered wood, chipped pavement and weedy lots and junk heaps, sardine canneries of corrugated iron, honky tonks, restaurants and whore houses, and little crowded groceries, and laboratories and flophouses.” — John Steinbeck, Cannery Row

30 MARINALIFE.COM

The Cannery Row of Steinbeck’s 1945 novel has long since morphed into a seaside tourist destination with only a sliver of his description still remaining. What’s left though, is enough to imagine the smells and sounds of the working waterfront in Monterey’s heyday as the Sardine Capital of the World. Yet, before the Sicilian and Japanese-American fishermen even discovered the bounties of Monterey Bay in the 1890s, it was the Spaniards who put the town on the map.

Monterey Eighteen years before the Mayflower arrived at Plymouth Rock, Spain had already established a foothold on the central California coast. In 1602, explorer Sebastian Vizcaino came ashore with his crew of 200, naming the bay where he anchored for the viceroy of New Spain: the count of Monte Rey. It took another 168 years before Spain established a presidio and mission in Monterey to protect its

The Monterey Bay Aquarium attracts approximately 1.7 million visitors each year to view its 300,000 marine plants and animals.

Known as one of California’s best-known landmarks, The Lone Cypress Tree has been perched on top Monterey’s rocks for more than 250 years.

Carmel-by-the-Sea In 1771, Franciscan Father Junipero Serra decided to move the Mission San Carlos de Borremeo, which he had established the preceding year in Monterey. He quickly rebuilt it in nearby Carmel Valley, and when he died in 1774 he was interred there with full military honors. By 1900, Carmel had changed its name to Carmel-by-the-Sea and, no doubt due to the location’s natural beauty, an artists colony had taken root there. The Carmel Arts & Crafts Club, formed in 1905, nurtured the town’s creative spirit. After the disastrous earthquake and fire of 1906 in San Francisco, writers, painters, musicians and other artists flocked from the city to Carmel-by-theSea. Jack London, Upton Sinclair, Robinson Jeffers, Sinclair Lewis and Ambrose Bierce are among the many writers and poets who frequented Carmel. In 1929, the renowned photographer Edward Weston relocated to Carmel and began photographic studies of the Point Lobos landscape jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. Today, Carmel-by-the-Sea is filled with galleries, upscale restaurants and boutiques. Cassidy K. Crossland

colonial interests and spread the Catholic faith. While Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson were busying themselves with the American Revolution in 1776, Spain made Monterey the administrative capital of Las Californias, a territory that included all of today’s California as well as Mexico’s Baja California. On Aug. 4, 1821, the former colony of New Spain changed its name to the Mexican Empire, a newly independent state, and Monterey became the official port of entry for Mexico’s international trade in California. But the United States’ policy of Manifest Destiny caught up with Mexico in 1846, when President James Polk pushed our country into the Mexican-American War. That July, American Commodore John Sloat sailed into Monterey Bay with his Pacific squadron and claimed California for the United States. For the next two years, Monterey was occupied by U.S. forces. The war ended in 1848, and the territories of Alta California and New Mexico were ceded to the U.S. for the sum of $15 million. In 1849, propelled by the California gold rush, a constitutional convention was held in Monterey. The following year, the U.S. Congress admitted California as the 31st state in the union, and San Jose was established as the state capital. Henceforth, Monterey would take a back seat in the development of California’s statehood. Since 1984 the anchor of Cannery Row has been the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The aquarium is in fact built in an old cannery, and its exhibits cover the local history of sardine fishing and canning, as well as the ecology and marine habitat of Monterey Bay. Don’t miss the sea otters at feeding time or the new “jellies” experience.

Carmel Beach is known for its breathtaking sunsets, white beaches and great surf. This leash-free zone allows you to bring your canine along for some fun in the sun.

Getting There by Sea Cruising the central coast of California from the south means long, unprotected passages between harbors; sailing down from the north offers boaters more options for harbors and refuge. Once you’re in sight of Monterey Harbor you’ll have a choice of two well-protected marinas in the midst of the city’s historic sights. Both the municipal marina and Breakwater Cove Marina (831-373-7875) are a short walk or bicycle ride along a waterfront path to Old Fisherman’s Wharf, the Old Town historic district and Cannery Row. There are no services or facilities for boaters in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The only way to get there from Monterey is via the unbelievably scenic, 17-mile coastal drive. It is well worth renting a car to take the ride. If you decide to cruise south around the Monterey

> CHELSEA PIERS

Chelsea Piers is located on the Hudson River waterfront on Piers 59, 60, and 61 offering entertainment, fun, and adventure for the entire family.

MarineMax at Chelsea Piers By Olivia Schleicher

or more than a century, Chelsea Piers, in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, has been a household name. The piers once accommodated luxury liner berths in the early 1910s, and Pier 59 was the intended final destination for the Titanic — which notoriously never made it. After many decades of serving as a cargo terminal and port for ships, a decision was made to demolish the historical piers, but luckily the Westway Plan — for a highway that would have run along the west side of Manhattan — never came to fruition. You can thank the protected striped bass in New York harbor for that failure. In 1992, the site was purchased by Chelsea Piers Management Incorporated, and in July of 1994, construction began on the Chelsea Piers we know today. Chelsea Piers is a 28-acre complex that includes a golf club, sports center, health club, spa, sky rink, field house, bowling lanes, event centers, studios and marina known as MarineMax at Chelsea Piers. The marina currently has 75 small boat slips and 15 large-boat slips that can accommodate vessels up to 300 feet. MarineMax at Chelsea Piers prides itself on its efficient and professional customer service — dockhands are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A newly constructed dock hut allows the dockhands to be closer to the boaters’ needs around the clock.

In the fall of 2012, Hurricane Sandy caused significant damage to the famous site. Reconstruction is now fully under way, and includes many renovations to the damaged piers, as well as a brand new marina office to replace the one destroyed during Sandy (ready for the 2013 season). The new MarineMax office will have a “yachty,” contemporary feel to it and will cater to the mega-yachts and transient boaters that flock to the marina during the season. The finger piers are being enlarged from 40 to 50 feet in length, and from 4 to 6 feet in width. One of the most significant changes will be the building of a permanent wave wall. This will provide the marina with the protection it needs from passing boat traffic. Construction is planned to begin in early 2014. What is it that has drawn boaters to Chelsea Piers all these years? For starters, Chelsea Piers is in the heart of Manhattan, next to the thriving Meat Packing District. “Location, location, location,” says marina manager Scott Seisler, who has been at Chelsea Piers since 1999. “Everything is at our fingertips.” Parking, transportation, restaurants and entertainment are all within walking distance. Exploring New York harbor is a great activity for the spring, summer and fall months, and docking at Chelsea Piers will provide you with an experience of NYC that you will never forget! m l Visit marinemaxmanhattan.com for more information.

CRUISING WITH

Don’t Panic: The Burns Have ER Under Control By Anna Barthelme

ransitioning from a sailboat to a powerboat can be an adjustment to some boaters, but for Stephen and Erica Burns, the transition brought them to a new lifestyle that wouldn’t have been possible without ER, their new 48-foot Pilothouse Motoryacht. Of course, the change can be a bit rocky at first, but for the pair it’s all about the attitude you have. They knew during their first cruise north they could have a few ‘hiccups” and things to learn, but they remained optimistic and eager to get ER home. “It’s very simple. If it’s a choice between something going wrong with the boat or something going wrong with me, I’ll take the boat every time,” said Stephen. For the past 30-odd years, the couple from Toronto would cruise Lake Ontario every summer with their sailboat. But purchasing their new vessel required

Stephen and Erica to fly to Florida and venture the 1,630 miles back to Toronto, bringing ER north. They initially thought that she would be kept in Florida, but when they really became adept at cruising, they decided to make it a new home. The crew took to the seas heading north along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) toward the Chesapeake. They ventured into the C&D Canal and then into the Delaware Bay heading toward Cape May. Entering the Atlantic Ocean at Cape May, they brought ER full throttle heading north along the New Jersey Coast to New York. Entering the Hudson River, they began cruising toward the Erie Canal, where they would have to navigate through 34 locks — an experience in itself. With only eight locks remaining they headed north on the Oswego Canal and made their way into the glass-like waters of Lake Ontario. Throughout their 37-day trip to

Toronto, Stephen and Erica kept a log detailing what each day brought aboard ER and highlighting their adventures and favorite moments along their voyage north.

DAY 1 We left Ft. Pierce early, around 7 a.m. The first few hundred yards were uneventful, but then I didn’t pay attention to the depth and went aground just outside the main channel. Bent one or more props … ahhhh, the joys of boating. With wounded props we could only do about 8.5 knots but managed the rest of the day with only the occasional bump on the bottom in shallow water. We arrived at the Cocoa Village Marina (just south of Port Canaveral) around 2 p.m. a distance of about 60 miles. Really nice marina staff helped us dock in high winds. They helped me find a diver who will change the props in the morning (yes, ER carries spare props).

CRUISE LEGS

Broken propeller? ER had to handle just about everything as she took on the seas heading north for the first time.

DAY 10 & 11 What a great day on Saturday. We covered 170 miles to Charleston, S.C. in about 11 hours. All the weather forecasters underestimated the wind speed and wave height and it was a rocky ride with seas 3 to 4 feet most of the way. The sea spray was drenching us even on the fly bridge so we spent most of the day in the pilothouse.

DAY 21 & 22 ER has now gone about 800 miles on her journey home, with about 1,000 miles to go. Despite the hiccups, Erica and I are enjoying the voyage immensely … every day filled with new experiences, new surroundings, new people and the occasional bite of reality. Using the online reservation system of marinalife.com, I made reservations today at various marinas ahead of us, all the way to New York City, which we hope to reach on May 30th.

DAY 26 A superb ride up the last leg of the Chesapeake today, cruising about 11 knots. We made the turn into the C&D Canal, pulled into the cove hosting The Chesapeake Inn and Restaurant, tied up A day on the dingy, Stephen and Erica casually cruise Florida’s waterways.

on the outside of the central dock and enjoyed our buffalo wing lunch complete with a pair of Stella’s. What a happening place. Live entertainment, lots of people enjoying the holiday, a raucous oasis in the midst of serenity.

DAY 32 We spent a pleasant morning cruising up the Hudson River at a modest speed, weaving our way between the red and green marker buoys and enjoying the rugged scenery. As Albany slipped behind us, we prepared ourselves as best we could for the first lock at Troy, N.Y. Just as I nudged ER into her assigned station in the lock and Erica wrapped a line around the vertical pole provided to hold us to the side, the skies opened up with a deluge. Rising as the lock filled with water, we quickly grasped the essentials of a skill we will need often over the next few days. Then the massive front doors opened and we motored to the entrance of the Erie Canal at Waterford.

DAY 37 We did it! Arrived safely today at Island Yacht Club to a small throng of wellwishers. Hard to believe, 1,630 miles from Ft. Pierce, Fla., to Toronto. We started as unskilled novices who were way out of their league in even contemplating such an epic journey. We ended as seasoned and confident seafarers, looking forward to our next adventure. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to our good friend/mentor/ weatherman Lee, who saw us through the difficulties as well as the (mostly) good times. Thank you, Lee.

crossing from Rochester. That first glimpse of the Toronto skyline puffed out our chests and filled us with bittersweet feelings. As we cruised slowly down the channel to the Club, we passed our faithful (unsold) sailboat that whispered as we went by, “I gave you the best 30 years of my life and now you discard me for someone new? What kind of people are you to do such a thing?” We aspire to become one of those old couples that bring their boats south in the fall and north in the spring. In the meantime, we anticipate heading back to Florida in late September. ml To view this cruise online, visit marinalife.com/burnscruise.

Cruising through North Carolina By Bob Arrington

Exploring the charms and tranquil towns of the sounds.

THERE ARE MANY well-known cruising grounds along the East Coast, the Chesapeake Bay and Long Island Sound being two of the best documented. However, there are other equally attractive bodies of water that get far less press. The sounds of North Carolina is one such area. The towns along the protected waters of North Carolina’s sounds are popular stops for boaters traversing the Eastern seaboard. The towns happily play host to the migration, provisioning and repairing all the boats as they pass through. But during the remainder of the boating season, these quaint villages and waters are tranquil and all but undisturbed. What this means is that boaters with the time or inclination can stay in scenic, nearly empty anchorages and marinas. The area is bordered by North Carolina’s famous Outer Banks to the east, and the mainland — which is branding itself for tourism as the Inner Banks — to the west.

38 MARINALIFE.COM

The bodies of water that make up the area are the Albermarle, Croatan, Pamlico, Core, and Back sounds, along with the tributaries that feed them. New Bern is the region’s largest town, with excellent accommodations right in the heart of downtown at the New Bern Grand Marina. Most of New Bern’s central business district is within walking distance of the marina, including the well-preserved historic district and its crown jewel, Tryon Palace, a stately 1770 Georgian manse. New Bern’s waterfront and striking convention center host art festivals and concerts throughout the summer. Farther down the Neuse River, the area’s main tributary, is the little village of Oriental, the self-proclaimed Sailing Capitol of North Carolina. Oriental has a charm that is hard to describe but unquestionably present, and it has captured the heart of more than one boater who has decided to permanently set anchor in this town of just 900 folks.

Dori Arrington

Dori Arrington

Though the town is small, the restaurant scene thrives, and there are numerous marine businesses, including several marinas. The Oriental Marina & Inn, right in the harbor, and River Dunes, which has a well-protected basin and a polished clubhouse, are both great choices. From Oriental, it’s a short 25-nauticalmile trip down the ICW to Beaufort and Morehead City. This stretch of the ICW is one of the most traveled and best maintained. It consists of a short manmade canal connecting the head waters of Adams and Core creeks. Along the way, you’re likely to be joined by Atlantic bottlenosed dolphins, which swim up the creek from Beaufort Inlet to feast on the local fish. Beaufort and Morehead City each have much to offer — Beaufort with its wellestablished merchants and eateries along Front Street, Morehead City with its impressive fleet of fishing boats that can be chartered. Marinas are located right in town in both cities, and there is good anchoring in the

Sir Walter Raleigh’s famous Lost Colony. The story has been told by actors in Manteo since 1937 in one of the country’s longestrunning theater productions. Do not let the narrow channels keep you from visiting this gem of a town. The channels are well marked and easy to follow for the attentive cruiser. Whether you carve time out of a seasonal trip, make the sounds a summer cruise destination or charter a bareboat from one the regional companies, you will be delighted by this naturally beautiful and historically rich area. ml

creeks nearby. There are also two great day trips to be made in this area, to Cape Lookout National Seashore and the beautiful beaches of Shackleford Banks. Both have rich histories, well-preserved ecosystems, and sparklingly clear water, and they are unique along the eastern seaboard. One of the prize treasures of North Carolina’s Outer Banks is the village of Ocracoke. It’s one of the few villages on the East Coast that is accessible only by boat. Consequently, it has an intact and unique sense of character. The harbor of Silver Lake is the town’s focal point, and the orientation is clearly toward visiting vessels. However, there is much more here than just the water. The town is full of local craftspeople and artists who have settled there for the inspiration of the natural beauty and the seclusion. A short and somewhat challenging trip north through Pamlico Sound and Old House Channel is the town of Manteo, on Roanoke Island. Manteo was home to

ADELAIDE The Niehoffs’ Two-Year Adventure By Peter Niehoff

Peter and Beth Niehoff boarded their Tayana 52-foot named Adelaide with kids Petersen, Tyler and Suzanna (plus Winston the Sailor Cat) and set course on a life-changing odyssey. Here is the second in a four-part series recounting their story, as told through the log Peter kept during the trip.

Adelaide and crew are poised to cross over to the Bahamas this evening, hopefully arriving at Port Lucaya on the island of Grand Bahama sometime around midday tomorrow. We had a nice trip home to Alabama for Christmas. While we were home, Adelaide had a leaking fuel tank replaced—finding 60 gallons of diesel in the bilge one morning doesn’t make for a good day. Other than that, she has held up quite well for the first four months. Since arriving back on the boat in late December, we have been in provisioning mode. While the Bahamas are beautiful, all their products are imported, and taxed, making food and paper products very expensive. We hear

a case of beer is $80. We have made so many trips to Sam’s, Wal-Mart, and the local grocery, that they know us by name! Our goal was to supply for three months for our family of five, but while buying supplies was one thing, trying to find a place to stow them aboard was another. The kids have given up their bathroom for the sake of food, paper towels, kitty litter and chips. We have stuff on board that we may not find until next summer.

January 31 24˚ 43.027 N 76˚ 49.900 W Highborne Cay, Exumas Bahamas We have arrived! Setting out from Maine recently, our intended destination was the Exumas, in the southern Bahamas. On Jan. 30, after 130 days and 2,201 miles, we dropped the hook in the Exumas. All crew members,

including the cat, are glad we are here. Is it beautiful? Pinch me, but more on that later. We left West Palm Beach the night of Jan. 18 to cross the dreaded gulf stream, a 4-knot northerly current of warm water that can get very steep and dangerous. Our crossing was uneventful, with a NE wind blowing 10-15. We cleared in at West End on the island of Grand Bahama. The marina was very nice and we enjoyed resting up from our crossing by swimming in the pool. After a couple of days, we headed south for the Berry Island chain. The anchorage required us to do our first cut entrance. This was a break in the reef, where we had to pass between coral heads and where there is usually a strong current flowing and sometimes breaking waves. I was concerned as I watched the depth sounder count down from 300 feet to 20 and then to 12, but with the boys on the bow calling the reef location we blasted through the pass and into a secluded little anchorage. We anchored

off a beautiful white beach south of Hoffman Cay in 10 feet of perfectly clear water. After making the boat shipshape, the kids donned their masks and headed for the beach. The boys set out to learn how to use their new pole spears so that we could begin eating some fresh fish. These spears are about 5 feet long with a rubber strap on the end.

length of the spear. By the next day our boat had a snapper, a trigger fish and a lobster for the dinner menu. It was at this anchorage that we met a Canadian family from Montreal. The husband could speak English pretty well, but the wife and kids could only speak French. It was fun watching the kids trying to communicate. It appears that the language of kids and sailors is pretty universal, as we got together one evening and shared stories, experiences and plans. We spent about five days at Hoffman Cay, exploring, doing school, swimming and generally taking it easy. Then the “let’s move on” urge began to creep in, so we decided to head for Rose Island, just north of Nassau. As we were motoring out of the pass I noticed the battery wasn’t charging. On a boat where everything runs off battery power, this was not a good thing. We decided to continue on and made plans to go to a marina in Nassau to assess the situation.

At least we would be able to plug into shore power and keep the freezer cold. After fueling up in Nassau, we headed out into 20- to 25-knot winds to cross the banks. It was truly amazing sailing over these crystal clear shallow waters. We could see coral and starfish as the boat pounded into the short steep sea kicked up by the winds. By 3 p.m., Highborne Cay Peterson and Tyler’s successful catch for dinner came into sight, and we were soon anchored in its lee.

“Don’t ever let anyone tell you pigs can’t swim.”

Tyler with the wild swimming pigs on Big Majors in the Exumas

and I have been feeling very blessed to share this adventure as a family. We were on “island time,” and liking it!

FEBRUARY 28 23˚ 30.961 N 75˚ 45.421 W Georgetown, Exumas, Bahamas The Exuma chain is roughly a 100 miles long and dotted with islands and cays. Most of our trips between islands were done on the “banks,” which is the shallow parts of the Bahamas, as opposed to the ocean routes. Sailing the banks requires very good navigation, as the water is rarely over 12 feet and shallows to nothing in places. The water is crystal clear, and one can see starfish, rays and nurse sharks as you sail by. From Highborne Cay, we sailed to Big Majors Spot, a wide and popular anchorage. The attraction at this particular island was the “not-so-wild”

wild pigs. Someone, sometime ago, left some pigs on this island, and since then cruisers have taken it upon themselves to make sure the pigs are well fed with scraps. The pigs naturally assume that any dinghy coming into the beach has treats, and will swim out to meet you. Don’t ever let anyone tell you pigs can’t swim. There was one huge mama pig with piglets, and in her excitement to get to our dinghy she nearly climbed in it. I’m not sure what would have happened if Petersen had not been thinking fast and shoved her out. One good thing came out of an ocean side trip we took: Petersen caught our largest fish yet, a 40-pound dolphin. Trying to land and subdue a fish of this size on a sailboat pounding to weather made the boys and me look like The Three Stooges! Imagine the scene, all crew members hungry for fresh mahimahi, trying to tackle this 4 1/2-foot fish, which didn’t want to be there. We had to subdue him with a winch handle, all in a space of a small desktop. The fish nearly won the battle and I almost

knocked Tyler senseless as the fish ducked one of my blows. Dinner made the effort all worthwhile — the filets cooked on the grill were delicious! Georgetown is a major destination for cruisers going south. We arrived to find roughly 250 boats anchored in the harbor. Sailors come here for many reasons, some to spend the winter, some to head farther south to destinations such as Cuba and the Dominican Republic. The kids really loved it there! We had finally found where cruising families with children come. The kids spent the afternoons playing volleyball on the beach or body surfing in the ocean. While we had planned to push on soon after arriving, there was a cruisers regatta in the latter part of March. The kids were begging to stay for it, and wanted to enter many of the events. I had tentatively OK’d the rowing and sailing races, and the sand sculpture and lip-sync singing events. Sometime prior to the regatta, we had hoped to make it out to San Salvador, the island of Christopher Columbus fame. Cold fronts had begun to reach us, bringing strong gusty winds and large seas, but not much of a temperature change. We would head out to San Salvador when the fronts subsided or when there was a weather window of longer duration. So far, we are all well — the crew of the sailing vessel Adelaide and that Rastafarian cat, Winston. m l Visit marinalife.com/adelaide2 to view this article online.

CUBA, WOW! A CARIBBEAN ISLAND FULL OF SURPRISES AND CHARM. By Dominic Soave

Boaters in the U.S. are anxiously awaiting the relaxing of travel restrictions to Cuba. The vibrant island is just 90-miles from the Florida Keys, within easy cruising distance. Cuba, too, is anticipating this policy change and busily preparing for an increase in U.S. boaters. The construction of the Caribbean’s largest marina — set in Varadero, a beach resort destination about 80 miles east of Havana — is under way. Cuba currently has fewer than 1,000 transient slips in the whole country, but this new marina, to be called Gaviota Varadero, will have 1,200 slips all on its own. Megayacht docks and a full-service yard will be part of the facilities. There will also be joint

memberships between the marina and the Hemingway Yacht Club in Havana. Most U.S. boaters would likely start their Cuba cruise in the capital, Havana, docking and clearing customs at the Marina Hemingway. The Club Nautico Internacional de La Habana, which sits at the beginning of Canal 2 at the marina, is a beautifully decorated yacht club that overlooks the canal, the yachts and the power cruisers. The club currently has more than 2,000 members from 60 countries. It is a nonprofit organization founded in 1992 with the goal of promoting pleasure boating, nautical sports and nautical tourism via competitions and events such as regattas. It also promotes friendly and cooperative relations with other nautical clubs, institutions, associations and celebrities of the international nautical community. From the marina, it is a quick cab ride to Habana Vieja, the city’s famed historic district, full of beautiful colonial buildings and bursting with energy. Many people swing by La Bodeguita del Medio, one of

Ernest Hemingway’s haunts, to sample the mojitos. Legend has it that the drink was invented there. The next logical stop for a cruise would be Varadero, Cuba’s largest beach resort, where miles of white sand beaches are anchored by five-star hotels, all of which have popular water-sports facilities. Varadero is known for being one of the best vacation spots in the

Oysters in Apalachicola

By Victoria Allman

t was time to get off the boat. Sometimes, the small confining space gets to me. It was time for wide-open sky, endless miles of land and long white beaches. It was time to go camping. Leaving the constricting space of the boat behind, Patrick and I loaded up the Jeep and headed west to a secluded campsite at St. Joseph Peninsula State Park on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico. “You’re sure we packed the dishes?” I asked for the 10th time. Even though Patrick was hiking 10 feet in front of me on the sandy two-mile path toward the campsite, I could feel his roll of the eyes and hear the exasperation in his voice through his gritted teeth. “You’re being neurotic, wife.” But, we were packing everything in, and the last thing I wanted was to have to hike out in the dark, back to the vehicle, to retrieve an AWOL coffee cup. We had already passed signs of bear crossing and alligator warnings, after all, so I wasn’t to

keen on forgetting anything. The strap from the firewood bundle dug into my shoulder as the sloshing sound of our weekend’s worth of water from my pack filled the air. I had to concentrate on the path ahead for fear of tripping over the sprawling razor-sharp fans of saw palmetto trees so I almost missed the deer frozen in its tracks on the path ahead. For a fleeting second, we stood, staring into the deep dark pools of its eyes before it bounded away into the scruff. Ten minutes into our foray into the wilderness and we’d already left the busy glamour of yachting ports behind us. That night, nestled between the sea oats and dunes of the beach, we watched the night sky explode with stars and listened to the sounds of the fire crackling, amazed how quickly we could settle into our new surroundings.

“What’s the plan for tomorrow?” I picked up a stick and poked at the dying embers of the fire in hopes of prolonging the peaceful paradise. “Oysters?” Patrick hardly had to ask. My first thought was always about tasting the food of the area. “And kayaking,” I added in hopes of working up an appetite for the dozens of shells I planned to consume. Oysters are what brought us to this part of Florida. They thrive in the backwaters of the local rivers and tidal creeks. Between the fresh water of the rivers and the salt of the Gulf, the oysters from the area grow into some of the tastiest in the South. In fact, the region supplies 90 percent of all Florida’s oysters and 10 percent of worldwide consumption. The next day, we hiked out from our campsite and drove down the coast to Apalachicola to launch our kayaks

The Apalachicola Bay is an estuary located on the northwest coast of Florida and produces more than 90 percent of Florida’s oyster production.

into the muddy-brown water and glided through the dry golden maze of the grasses of the estuary toward the protected brackish water of the bay. Out of a stand of grass to my right, a freat blue heron stalked the invisible fish of the area, while ahead in the bay a brown pelican shattered the quietness of the morning by crashing into the water to capture the same invisible breakfast. Farther into the bay, we encountered the small skiff of a local oystermen raking the oyster reefs just under the surface with long wooden tongs. Unlike other oyster areas, where oystermen harvest the beds with use of dredges or farm the oysters in bags, traditional Apalachicola oystermen use long-handled tongs to pluck dozens of wild oysters from their secured spot by hand. We watched while a gruff-looking man with a weeks worth of stubble on his face, blue jean overalls, and a Buccaneers hat pulled down low over his long gray hair gathered rake after rake of the shells from the shallow waters. Between watching the harvest, breathing in the briny air, the hike in and out from the campsite and paddling the calm waters, it wasn’t long before our mouths were watering, and we headed back to shore to Boss Oyster to start tasting the world-famous buttery bivalves surrounding us. Sitting on the wooden porch overlooking the river, we couldn’t help but devour platter after platter of the meaty, clean-tasting day’s catch: a dozen chilled with horseradish, a dozen topped with caviar and wasabi, a dozen char-grilled with Key lime, garlic and Parmesan, and another dozen simmered in a thick and creamy oyster stew. They were plump and delicious — the perfect respite before tackling another hike in to watch the sun set over the Gulf from our campsite home.

SPORTFISH

The bonefish is known as the gray ghost because of its transparent body, and it is the quickest and strongest of all saltwater fish.

Flat Out!

Hit the flats of the Bahamas for some of the finest bonefish action on the planet By Jeff Merrill

For decades the islands of the Bahamas have attracted anglers like a magnet to sample the bounty of gamefish that roam its waters. For inshore action some of the best bonefishing in the world can be found throughout the Bahamas, where fly fishing fanatics and bait-fishing anglers alike savor the miles of pristine water in pursuit of the fabled gray ghost of the flats. These flats span for miles in protected backwaters and on the ocean side as well where miles of white sand, marl and turtle grass provide cover for forage species such as shrimp and crabs bonefish target. On the edges of the mangrove shoreline found along many of the Bahamas islands water depths can range from a few inches to a few feet. Once hooked it can often be challenge to keep these speedsters out of the mangroves and other impediments, where they can easily break off in an instant. The bonefishing in the Bahamas is exceptional and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon to see schools of upward of a hundred of fish when conditions are right. Though most of the bonefish caught range between 3 and 6 pounds, fish of 8 pounds or more are possible.

64 MARINALIFE.COM

The Bahamas also hold a population of permit and tarpon from early spring through fall and while not as popular a target species as bonefish in these islands, each have their following and are equally exciting to catch. Other species to be found along the flats include barracuda, jacks and several species of sharks. Miles of sandy bottom strewn with turtle grass, loggerhead sponge and conch create the perfect habitat for the bonefish where they blend in to the bottom and it takes a keen-eyed guide to spot them. We recently spent a day plying the beautiful gin-clear waters of the flats around the Bimini Big Game Club, and our guide kept us tight on several bonefish from four to 7 pounds. While the 25-knot wind was not conducive to fly fishing, we did have good luck casting fresh shrimp with sixpound spinning gear to bonefish schools ranging from hundreds of fish to small schools of three or four. The drag-searing runs each fish provided as it shot across the flat after feeling the hook was truly an amazing experience. The best analogy one could

CAPTAIN’S TIPS

TWIN ENGINE TIPS:

What Do I Do If One Fails? Sea Tow captains receive numerous calls each year from the owners of twin-engine (or twin-outboard) vessels when one of their engines fails. Concerns include the following: • Can I still drive the boat on one engine or will the load be too much? • If I keep going on one engine will I burn out the remaining engine? • Will I be able to steer straight? • My boat wasn’t designed to only use one engine. • I won’t be able to steer back into my boat slip. • I can’t go as fast as I did before. In most cases if one engine dies, it is perfectly fine to continue your trip using the second engine. In fact, most boaters make it back to the dock on their own with no

The What, Where and Why of Waterspouts By David Cannon

Mariners and weather enthusiasts alike are no doubt familiar with a waterspout. Similarly, mariners know (or at least should know) these weather dangers are to be avoided at all costs, but what exactly is a waterspout? Is it simply a tornado over the water? Or is it something more than that? Let’s take a look at this rather interesting phenomenon to find out a little more. Like tornadoes, waterspouts are intense vortices that appear as a funnel-shaped cloud over the water. Unlike tornadoes, which typically descend from their parent cloud mass, they tend to develop on the sea surface and move skyward drawing water from the ocean surface. While typically weaker than their land-based counterparts (tornadoes), stronger waterspouts can typically form from smallerscale cyclones. Most waterspouts however, tend to form in an even smaller scale environment that is typically no more than 1 to 2 kilometers 66 MARINALIFE.COM

in total areal coverage. Most waterspouts form within tropical climates and in the lee of land masses, off the Florida coast and across the Florida Keys, for example. Generally speaking, waterspouts will most likely form late in the afternoon or early in the evening. Waterspouts go through a five-stage life cycle. First, we find the formation of a dark spot over the water, followed by the formation of light and dark bands “spiraling out” from the dark spot. A dense swirling ring of sea spray then forms around the dark spot making the waterspout visible from the sea surface to the cloud mass overhead, then reaching its maximum intensity (its “mature” phase). Finally, the waterspout begins its decay phase leading to its dissipation. The entire life cycle of a waterspout will typically last no more than 15 to 20 minutes. While waterspouts tend to be smaller and weaker than tornadoes, make no mistake. Most are potentially lethal and are to be avoided at

problem and no damage to the second engine. If the boat can still make way using the second engine you are not disabled, but you may have to operate the boat in a slightly different manner. The secret is simple; education and practice. Learn about your boat and practice driving your twin-engine boat with one engine turned off, even when both are working just fine. Many boaters prefer twin-engine boats for a number of reasons. They are faster and more maneuverable, particularly in docking and other close-quarter situations. Larger boats often require twin power to move their hullforms through the water, but the No. 1 reason offshore mariners go to sea in twin-engine boats is redundancy. If one engine should fail, they know they can always get home on the other one. Get to know your twin-engine vessel intimately. What type of steering does it have cable or hydraulic, manual or powerassisted? If the latter, which engine has the power steering pump? Do any other critical systems run off your engines that could cause a problem if you drive with one disabled? When you practice with one motor switched off (starting out in safe, open water), determine what speed you need to make in order for the boat to have steerageway. Know

MARINALIFE MEMBERS GET 14 MONTHS OF MEMBERSHIP WITH SEA TOW FOR THE PRICE OF 12 MONTHS

what speed you will be able to run at — most boats can do 8 to 10 knots on one engine (faster than you would be towed). Practice maneuvering around the marina and back to the dock on one engine. If that is too difficult, find an alternate place to go if you have limited maneuverability. If you find yourself in the situation where one of your twin-engines fails and you need advice, give your towing company a call. Your local towing captain can help assess the situation and will maintain communications with you as you make your trip home.

TIPS FROM SEA TOW CAPTAINS Always start with a full tank of fuel and an adequate oil level. Check your fuel level by knowing your boat’s fuel consumption per hour and the time you have already run. Never trust your fuel gauge. Always remember to shut off your engine while fueling and run the blowers prior to restarting the engine. Check your bilge level and bilge pump before leaving the dock. Be sure you have a working VHF radio onboard and test it using Sea Tow’s free Automated Radio Check System (seatow.com/arc).

Today â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s low and ultra-low sulfur diesel

fuels offer poor lubricity, contain more moisture, destabilize rapidly and are more susceptible to bacteria growth. Because sulfur in diesel helped to lubricate the fuel system, lower sulfur diesel can cause premature injector and fuel pump wear and failure.

ValvTect Marine Diesel contains BioGuard TM biocide, VT 101 Lubricity improver, water dispersant, corrosion inhibitor, cetane improver and stabilizer. It also contains Diesel Guard detergent that cleans-up injector deposits (gunk) and has been found to help improve fuel economy as much as 6% or more. VALVTECT MARINE DIESEL with BIOGUARD TM
